Warning!
Risk of accident.
f The collapsible spare wheel must be used only
over short distances in cases of emergency.

the wear indicators appear (webs in the tire
grooves, 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) high).
f Never deactivate the Porsche Stability
Management (PSM) system.

speeds.

to the same laws as the original tires.

different vehicle type.
f Do not mount the collapsible spare wheel from
your car on a different vehicle.

ling connection A only to inflate the collapsible

washes when the spare wheel is installed.

There is a plastic sheet in the tool box to store the
damaged wheel.
Maintenance Note

by the manufacturer.

if the collapsible spare wheel is defective.
Checking tire pressure with a pressure
gage
1. Remove the valve stem cap from the tire.
2. Press the pressure gage onto the valve stem.
Note on operation
f Do not press too hard or force the valve stem
sideways, or air will escape.
If the sound of air escaping from the tire is
heard, reposition the pressure gage.
3. Read the tire pressure on the gage stem and
compare it to the permissible tire pressure.
This information can be found on the tire pres-
sure plate in the left door aperture.
